Every week we explore tales of this ancient culture
The history of Egypt is available wherever you get your podcasting fix.
Come, let me introduce you to the world of ancient Egypt.
Hello and welcome to Sleep Cove, the place to come for a great night's sleep.
In tonight's episode, I'll be doing a guided meditation, very similar to the one I did on the stereo app this week.
We'll be using deep breathing as well as guided color imagery.
to remove any anxiety and stresses,
I think this will be perfect
to get you to sleep in 15 minutes.
I want to give a massive thank you
to everyone who sent testimonials to me this week
via email and on social media.
It means so much.
And if you use Apple Podcasts,
you'll be able to leave a good review on that as well.
I'm going to be using these testimonials
for a submission to the British
podcast awards for best mental health and best lockdown category. So I really hope that we get
shortlisted and I'll keep you up to date with the news on that. This episode is brought to you
by purple mattresses. As the world becomes increasingly uncomfortable, we're all looking for as much
comfort as we can get and the one thing we can always count on is how comfortable the purple mattress
really is. That's because purple is comfort reinvented. Purple has what is called the grid,
a stretchy gel material that's amazingly supportive for your back and legs while cushioning your
shoulders, neck and hips. I don't know how it does it, but it just feels fantastic.
Purple really is comfort for an uncomfortable world. Right now, any Sleepcove listener can get
10% off any order of $200 or more.

So please get comfortable in a place where you can safely go to sleep.
and you will be listening to the sound of my voice
as I guide you in this meditation
and I would like you to put one hand on your stomach
and one hand on your chest
and feel where the breathing is coming from
you want to make sure
that the breathing is emanating from the stomach
and not coming from the air.
upper chest area.
If it is coming from the upper chest area,
then we know we are not breathing efficiently or deeply.
We want to be making sure that the breathing is happening through our stomach
and that's deep belly breathing,
where we breathe efficiently and the oxygen and air circulates to the deep parts of our lungs.
If we use our upper chest area
then that means we are shallow breathing
and shallow breathing is not good
as it means that oxygen
cannot bind with the red blood cells
because your CO2 levels
will be not in sync with your body
and that is why it is really important
to do slow, deep breathing
breathing
breathing unnecessarily fastly
actually makes the red cells not bind with the oxygen cells efficiently
and that is one of the reasons why anxieties and stresses can increase
so imagine your hand on your stomach gently rising and falling
if it's very still and calm that's great but you want to make sure that that that hand
is gently rising and falling and your energy is coming from your stomach the deep breaths in your
stomach and take a deep breath into the count of five one two three four then hold for two
seconds and then let go like a balloon gently deflating coming out of your
lungs in one smooth motion and try on every exhale to gently let go and let the air relax out of your lungs
and this will help you to get in to this deep cycle of breathing. Always want to make sure that the exhale
is longer than the inhale. It means our blood chemistry will be in sync with our body to reduce.
anxieties, calming energy to the body.
And as we take these deep breaths,
I want you to imagine the muscles in your forehead and head gently smoothing,
detensing and relaxing.
Any lines you have in your forehead are going now,
smoothing out as you let the tension drop.
And this feeling moves down into your eyelids now.
And all the little muscles around your eyes
gently detents as well.
And the eyelids don't feel tight on your eyes anymore.
They just feel like gentle sheets.
Just draping over your eyelids with no tension.
No clenching.
Little muscles around your eyes.
Smooth out.
and this feeling moves down into the rest of your face, into your jaw,
and your jaw can slightly open if you'd wish,
as you feel complete relaxation, all in your jaw.
Your head and whole face feels so relaxed and at ease.
It feels amazing, it feels so good,
because this time is just for you.
If you are needed urgently in any way, you can always go and attend to that.
But you have to remember that this time is just for you.
To be at peace and to feel so nice and so good.
And as you take a deep breath in and out, you feel the energy flow into your neck, back and lower back.
The feeling of complete relaxation moves in these areas.
Detensing, removing any pain or niggles,
any stresses or strains or pains from the day.
Gently move and dissipate
as this relaxing feeling moves from your neck
to your upper back, to your lower back,
and then down and up, massaging all parts of your back area.
And then you feel that energy move through you to your upper chest, to your belly.
It feels so nice, it feels so good.
And that energy congregates around your stomach for a little while.
relaxing those stomach muscles which are doing those deep and impact the energy moves and the energy now
this healing deep penetrating energy goes and moves down into your hips and the top of your legs
again removing any any tension you have here any pain
pain from the day just disappears as it soothes, relaxes and detenses all your muscles
and the feeling moves down from the top of your legs, down into your calves and back and forth
and up and down and to and throw, finally going deeper into your toes and your feet.
and you may want to give your toes a little wriggle and you know from the top of your head
down all the way to the tips of your toes and then back up again this feeling of relaxation
is perfect it is sublime it feels amazing so peaceful and so at ease and in your mind
mind's eye now as you look outwards you may see the dark of your eyes closed I want you to
imagine in your mind's eye a color that comes to you that you want to choose yourself and in the
black of your mind's eye you see in the distance a little color the color you've chosen like a
little coin in the distance you see it vividly and you see it growing and it
it grows and grows and gets larger and larger so it's eventually filling up all the black in your
mind's eye and becoming that vibrant colour and you realise now that this colour you have chosen
is a healing colour and it's still growing and it's still getting larger in your mind's eye
and all the black is going now
and it's becoming intense and large with this colour
and you know that this colour can heal you
and make you feel more at ease and at peace
now we're just overflowing from the black of your mind's eye
and you feel it coming out of your forehead
and now that you feel this colour
is going into your head and into your muscles again
and just as the healing energy you relaxed and made you a peace
this colour healing energy
is twice deeply relaxing
your muscles and body
that colour is absorbing all into your muscles
it's even going into your cells at a cellular level
and this colour flows again into your body, into your neck,
into your back, into your chest, into your stomach.
And you know that it is making you doubly deeper relaxed.
You feel so relaxed, so at ease.
You didn't think that you could feel even more relaxed,
even more doubly relaxed than you do.
right now. It feels wonderful that this colour is flowing all throughout your upper chest and upper
torso and now it goes into your legs, into your calves, into your thighs, into your toes.
And you can feel it going from your back to your stomach through every part of your body.
relaxing everything, relaxing all the muscles.
And you're feeling doubly relaxed.
As the healing light, the healing colour fills you completely.
This is the colour you have chosen.
You can see it so vividly moving through your body.
Everything it touches, it relaxes.
It really is a truly magical and healing experience.
And this is your colour now.
This is your healing light energy
because all colour comes from light.
You're very happy to know that you have this colour with you always.
A colour that you can visionise
and it can come and be part of you.
Whenever you need it, that's a wonderful feeling that you can bring into your mind's eye.
Whenever you want, whenever you do need it.
Do you feel it, feeling gently in your body now?
So healed, so relaxed, so at ease.
And it helps you do the deep breathing we were doing earlier.
You feel it in your lungs, going into your bloodstream,
coming as an inhale and leaving as an exhale out into the universe.
Truly is magical and serene,
and you've done this just yourself.
Just for you, because you are a good, creative person.
You can relax and be yourself.
whenever you need and want to be
I feel so happy for you
that you can deeply relax now
and be at peace
or in this moment
and if you need to
you can calm this colour
as it calms you
to and fro
detent
